Dancin' The Camera, NL, 2015, 9:00 minutes
Director: Pieter-Rim De Kroon; Choreography: Marije Nie
A tap dancer's adventure in the mechanical world of black-and-white film. Shot on an original 35mm camera made in the 1920s, the era when tap was all the rage. As well as being the eye into this world, the camera is décor and character – the camera and a pianist attempt to entice the dancer into a duet.
